Keto – Day 52

I’m putting everything on this post and tomorrow’s on my iPad so I’m going to likely shorten it a little bit. I hate typing on this thing.

I definitely had some treats today—but I stayed within my macro budget. I had two coffees today. These were the first coffees I’ve had in a while that first one really helped with energy. Too bad I was driving two hours at the time it hit. But it re-focused my mind on what I want and don’t want. I know for sure, even more so now, how much I dislike the area and how we gotta get put of there. It’s soul-sucking and depressing. How can so many people be happy to live in such crazy congestion?

Back to today’s food, I had that coffee for breakfast (with two tablespoons of half and half). Lunch was some buffalo wings. Dinner was a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun…and an ounce of fries. They served crinkle-cut fries with it and I wanted to eat them all but I allowed myself just enough to not kill my carbs. I don’t have MCT oil with me so I had to eat for my fat; I had some Fat Snax peanut butter cookies and a mozzarella and pepperoni roll-up. I’m totality, I didn’t do fantastic on macros but it was better that I thought.

MyFitnessPal shows me at:

81 out of the allowed 129 g of fat, accounting for 62% of my calories; target is 75%

76 out of the allowed 78 g of protein, accounting for 28% of my calories; target is 20%

18 out of the allowed 20 g of net carbohydrates, accounting for 10% of my calories; target is 5%

If I had MCT oil, I’d have been closer to my macros. I’m okay with this, though. I don’t have a scale here so I will have to wait to get home to see what’s going on there, but I’m giving myself no more than two lbs gained after vacation. Any more than that, I get my ass back to the gym. I figure I’m not sick anymore, so I can’t use that excuse.

I am beginning the path toward enlightenment, as my friend, Kaeley, would say. I've done a lot of diets and have had success to start, but as soon as I'd lose ten pounds, I'd jump off the wagon. This time I want it to be different. This time, I'm committing to something more--90 days of the ketogenic diet. My aim is to get healthy, get off pre-diabetic medicine, and lose weight. I've got a lot of work to do.
You can count on my to give an honest take of what I think about things and how they relate to me and/or my diet. I'm 38 years old right now; I act 20 years younger, and feel 20 years older. I have a beautiful wife and two girls. Want to know more? Ask.
